Giving back
We've invested in the communities we serve for nearly a century – and will continue to invest for years to come.
You can make a difference
For over 100 years, making a difference in the places where we live and work has been at the core of who we are as Lowe's associates. Our community impact focus areas include improving community spaces, safe, affordable housing, disaster relief and skilled trades education. Whether it's through our associate volunteer programs or the way we step up to help neighbors in the aftermath of disaster, we are there to support and improve our communities.
10 million square feet of impact
In 2025, we made a commitment to deliver 10 million square feet of impact in the places we call home. This commitment is part of Lowe’s more than 100-year legacy of rolling up our sleeves to help neighbors when they need it most. The passion behind our commitment to help isn’t new. This is simply a new way to measure the impact made when Lowe’s shows up to help — inch by inch, foot by foot.
"Giving back and helping in the community does hold a special place in my heart. I'm an advocate of, if you give back to others it will be given back to you. This is the reason I feel our company, my district and my team are so successful because we all give back."
Rico A., Sr. Operations Manager
"Hurricanes Helene and Milton highlighted Lowe's spirit, with the Command Center and enterprise teams prioritizing associate safety, customer needs, and community aid through a $12 million donation. Over 17,000 truckloads of supplies were sent to Southeast stores, reinforcing Lowe's commitment to showing up for communities."
Lindsay R., Command Center Consultant
"Lowe’s made it super easy to transition. The leadership team I work with is very supportive. I could not ask for a better place to work or for a better company than Lowe’s.."
Miles H., Market Delivery Assistant Manager, U.S. Army Veteran
Skilled Trades Education
Recent studies show that about 9 in 10 contractors report trouble finding skilled workers with nearly half a million new skilled tradespeople needed to meet demand in construction alone.
This is why the Lowe's Foundation is solving the critical skilled trades labor shortage and helping fulfill dreams for the next generation of Pros. Since 2023, the foundation has invested $43 million in 60 innovative nonprofits and community colleges expanding training models nationwide.
We are also proud to offer our Track to the Trades program, a workforce development initiative that offers all Lowe's associates access to tuition-free skilled trades certifications to jumpstart a rewarding career in the trades.
